try driving in snow...

 

In that case, you just drift

 

only when rears were bald on stock tire it was scary as shiet!!! rear end was wagging like a tail on a dog. couldnt go over 55. super tail happy. but now with newer aftermarket rears thye feel pretty planted. not much wiggling. still gotta drive safe

 

I thought this thread was going to be about top-down driving in the rain.

 

Eveyone knows the s2000s are the most dangerous cars to drive in the rain . The cars were specifically engineered to go into abrupt oversteer at the slightest hint of humidity . The safest car to drive in the rain is any
pre-1980 Porsche 930 turbo on full boost . For myself when it rains I leave the s2000 home and instead drive my 550 spyder replica . Its live rear axle , volkswagen drum brakes and lack of abs makes it a real "Predictable" and much safer than the s2000 which is the only car designed from the ground up to oversteer into the nearest lighpole .

 

your description of the S2K in the rain is just exagerated

 

Dude! If you really scare the fish tailing, you should consider buying the '06 with Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA

 

Most dangerous cars to drive in the rain? specifically designed to go into abrupt oversteer at the slightest hint of humidity?

This is not true. Fortunately these statements are so absurd that most people will realize that without much thought. However it does sound like you are serious and not joking.

TO others who might think this is true, just take a few seconds to think about it. Imagine Honda design engineers sitting down and saying something like "Let's specifically design a car to go into abrubt oversteer at the slightest hint of humidity."

I don't think so.

Please learn how to drive.

 

im gonna have to disagree with most of what u people are saying. normally i have no problem in the rain, in fact ive steadily cruised at 80+ while raining.


yesterday on the otherhand, i was driving 60mph, driving perfectly normal, and the backend lost control.

i hydroplaned and did a 360 into the divider. that was some SCARY shit. ill post pics soon, the damage somehow wasn't that bad.

 

Most states have a law that requires drivers to maintain control of the vehicle they are driving.

Other than mechanical failure such as a tire blowing out, windshield cracking from a rock and other real emergencies, as drivers, we are required to maintain control of our vehicles. Even if there is ice on the road and the salt or sand truck missed treating a known dangerous curve or low valley, you are still required to maintain control of your car. I heard this directly from a lawyer.

This does not mean it is easy or that we can always maintain control of any car but at the end of the day this is every driver's responsibility.

Cars do not understear, oversteer, speed up, slow down, kickback, flip over or drive safely on their own. They are tools under the expectation that they are under control of a driver when they are driven.

Remember in driver's education and probably in instruction manual from most or all states that driving is privilege not a right. There's a lot of joy in driving many different kinds of vehicles that we can forget this.
